EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Woman and three men" by Claes Jansz. Visscher (II), we are transported back to the early 17th century. The image depicts a scene filled with pernicious allure, as women take center stage alongside three men. The women in this composition exude an air of mystery and danger, reminiscent of femmes fatales from literature and film. Their elaborate clothes and costumes add to their enigmatic charm, contrasting sharply with the more subdued attire of the men. Amidst a backdrop of towering trees, one woman playfully touches the foot of a man while another laughs temptingly. These portraits serve as both a warning and an invitation; their levity is juxtaposed with cautionary undertones. Inspired by a German proverb that states "Mitt fusz und handt trucking lacht" which translates to "He who touches your foot will soon laugh at your hand". Visscher captures the essence of jesters' levity in his work. This print by Quint Lox serves as a timeless reminder that appearances can be deceiving. It invites us to ponder the complexities within human relationships, where laughter can mask hidden intentions and actions may have unforeseen consequences.
